This is a slap on Nigerians, to think Sowore was part of the reasons for the postponement. Then their other reason was because of the social media bill, is Osinbajo NASS? My only take away here is the Vice President CHOSE not to receive the award at this time. That is the highest act of integrity. And I will continually respect him. 10 Likes 7 Shares |

Good! All the leaders in this oppressive & repressive APC govt. from the president to the least in the political heiracy of leadership should be shamed, disgraced & boycotted. Since they failed to acknowledge that the masses put them in position hence care less about their wellbeing, then it's time to put them where they rightly belong-the political dustbin of histroy.Ndi ara. 23 Likes

Mr. Alaka added that Osinbajo “himself shares this awareness and the inappropriateness of the award at this point.” This line right here is the most powerful sentence in the whole piece. It show's the level of understanding and respect for the people that Prof Osinbajo has. As much as anyone might want to change the narrative we must all remember who it was that sacked the erstwhile DSS boss for invading the House of assembly; am incident I am sure played its part in making him meritorious of the award in the first place. 1 Like |

the full story gets them less clicks. Truth hurts their business. The VP himself was of the opinion that now isn't a good time and that's the fact. Arubajagz: 2 Likes |

To say this then you must have very limited knowledge of the person of the VP. To butress my point you can read from the story itself where it is said that even the VP agrees that now might not be an appropriate time to bag the award hence it's postponement. Brandstudio01: 1 Like 1 Share |

BOSF PRESS RELEASE (www.bosf.ng) There is a tweet by the Wole Soyinka Centre for Investigative Journalism today (9th December, 2019) which says it has postponed the presentation of award to His Excellency the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo. According to WSCIJ, the postponement was decided on, to align in solidarity with Sowore. The general public must note that: 1. The Vice President himself opted not to receive the award at this time. 2. Attempts to again hold the Vice President responsible for DSS actions is inappropriate and patently unfair. 3. Recall again what the Vice President did when as Ag President, he fired DG SSS for the goons invading the National Assembly. 4. Finally, His Excellency the Vice President is currently in the United Arab Emirates (same day as the award date) as a keynote Speaker at Sixth Assembly of the Forum for Promoting Peace. Also at the Presidential Palace in Abu Dhabi, His Excellency is scheduled to meet with Sheik Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nayan, the Crown Prince of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the United Arab Emirates Armed Forces. Both leaders will discuss bilateral issues on how to continue to expand diplomatic and economic relationships between Nigeria and the UAE. It is imperative to note that His Excellency Prof. Yemi Osinbajo is a committed Democrat and a respecter of the rule of law.

You couldn't have said you postponed an award because of Sowore saga when the VP is not even in Nigeria to receive any award. My amiable VP is currently in UAE This is part of the fake news we are clamouring against from the fake blogger 3 Likes |

The main reason for the postponement is that VP Osinbajo is currently in UAE now and he will be awarded while in Nigeria, so this is not attached to Sowore DSS rearrest 1 Like 2 Shares |
